Chapter 165: The Queen's work is rare in this world
"Princess Wan?"
Even the emperor was surprised that Wanpin was willing to speak for Yanwan. She was the most honest person in the harem, and she politely asked Jinzhong to invite Wanpin in.
"Your Majesty, I can prove that the cloth that Concubine Ling took from Concubine Ying contained musk."
Concubine Wan came in and went straight to the point without much greeting.
"That day, in addition to giving Concubine Ling a piece of floating brocade, Concubine Ying also gave me one."
"It just so happens that the floating brocade that Yingpin gave me was placed next to the floating brocade that Lingfei had.
I got the material and hadn't made the clothes yet, but who knew that the Tenth Prince had already developed a rash."
As Wanpin was speaking, Shunxin brought the Tenth Prince in from outside.
When the Tenth Prince came in, the emperor was startled by this son whom he hadn't seen for some time.
The tenth prince became more and more round and chubby. He looked like a child of eight or nine years old.
Moreover, the Tenth Prince had a rash on his body again, and he seemed to be getting more bloated.
The emperor couldn't help but frown when he saw this.
"The Tenth Prince's appetite is still as good as ever."
Concubine Wan pulled the Tenth Prince over and leaned against her.
"The Tenth Prince has been ill these past few days and his appetite is not as good as before. He has not even touched any meat these past few days."
The emperor had seen the tenth prince eat. Even though he didn't eat meat, he ate more than most people.
Wanpin really doted on the Tenth Prince, fearing that a bite of delicious food would not reach the Tenth Prince.
"Princess Wan really loves the Tenth Prince too much. My Yongsheng and Yongxuan combined don't even eat as much as the Tenth Prince in one meal."
Jin Yuyan had long been fed up with the way Wanpin raised her child, and couldn't help but say something.
The emperor had an idea in his mind and interrupted Jin Yuyan.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, Wanpin. Are you saying that the musk on the floating brocade that Yingpin gave to Concubine Ling stained the floating brocade given to you, causing the tenth prince to have a rash?"
"Yes."
"Yingpin gave me the floating brocade, and I thought I should keep such a good thing. When the Tenth Prince gets married in the future, I'll at least give it to his wife.
The Tenth Prince curiously touched the material, and soon he developed a rash."
"The material was sent by Concubine Ying. The Tenth Prince is already this big. Concubine Ying naturally didn't want to abort such a big child.
I also thought that maybe someone was trying to harm Yingpin, so I thought it was better to have less trouble than more.”
When Wanpin said this, she glanced at Yingpin.
The emperor understood. If Yingpin's material had not hurt Yanwan today, Wanpin would not have come out to testify.
"You're talking nonsense. The material was brought by the Emperor. Why don't you say that it was the Emperor who harmed Concubine Ling?"
Wanpin's reply was clear and logical, and she also tried to protect Yingpin.
Yingpin refuted Wanpin with a shout. This move already displeased the emperor. She even dared to directly say that it was the emperor who wanted to harm Yanwan.
This seemingly harmless sentence actually has the biggest problem.
The emperor has now determined in his mind that it was Yingpin who put musk in Yanwan's fabric. No one knows that Yanwan is pregnant. If she is not pregnant at all, wearing this fabric will make it difficult for her to get pregnant in the future.
It was Yingpin who was unlucky and wanted to harm Yanwan, who happened to have a child.
As for the sentence that the Emperor was harming Concubine Ling, it was Yingpin's escape route.
If there was any problem with the material, just say it was a gift from the emperor. Who would dare to question Yingpin?
"Yingpin plotted to murder the heir to the throne, and was demoted to a noble lady. Take her away, and don't allow her to see anyone before she gives birth."
The emperor was not allowed to think of Ruyi whenever he met anyone.
Concubine Ying is very flattering to Ruyi. Now think about it, Concubine Ying's targeting of Yanwan may also be due to Ruyi's calculations.
"Your Majesty, Yingpin is innocent. Are you going to convict Yingpin without even investigating this matter?"
Whatever the emperor fears will come to pass.
Ruyi couldn't even clear herself of her own crimes, but she acted as if she wanted to clear Concubine Ying's name.
He stepped forward and helped the kneeling Concubine Ying up.
"Yingpin, please stand up. What the emperor said is right.
But why don't you say that someone is taking advantage of the emperor's mind, making sure that the emperor will suspect Yingpin when he hears that the material was given by the emperor?"
The emperor said nothing, sitting on the throne with a cold look in his eyes.
He had already demoted Concubine Ying to a noble lady, but Ruyi kept calling her Concubine Ying and even pulled up Noble Lady Ying who was kneeling on the ground.
Ruyi is defying the imperial power.
"Sister-in-law. What the Queen has done is rare in this world."
"My brother has already made a decision on this matter. Even if there are one or two things that are not right, my sister-in-law cannot advise against it privately.
Do you really have to embarrass my brother in front of everyone?"
“Besides, it was Concubine Ling who lost her child today because of Concubine Ying.
The Emperor's sister-in-law came but she didn't help Concubine Ling find out the truth, but only protected her own people. What kind of behavior is that?"
Longyue pressed the issue several times, and Ruyi's face turned gloomy.
Although she felt it was inappropriate, she refused to admit defeat.
"What the princess said makes sense, but for the sake of the emperor's face, are you going to ignore the truth of the matter?"
When Longyue heard this, she laughed angrily.
He glanced at the emperor, as if to say, "Brother, your reputation is so worthless."
"That's enough, Queen.
Noble Lady Ying gave cloth to Concubine Ling with an unfair attitude and harsh words, as Noble Lady Jia can testify.
There was a problem with the fabric, and Concubine Wan, who was also implicated, can testify to this.
The evidence is irrefutable. How can you refute it? "
When the emperor spoke to Ruyi, there was already a look of intimidation in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, Yingpin's maid has been beaten to death. Nothing you say now can prove Yingpin's innocence."
Ruyi's words made everyone present look at her in confusion.
I thought she had some favorable evidence, but she just left it here.
The emperor rolled his eyes at Ruyi unconsciously.
"Sister-in-law, you already said that Concubine Ying's maid died.
How can we not say that Concubine Ying deliberately provoked the emperor's brother and killed the maid first, so that there would be no evidence?"
Longyue delivered another heavy blow, hammering away the suspicion that Concubine Ying was harming others.
"What the princess said makes sense, but I still feel that Concubine Ying is wronged."
Princess Longyue said so, but Ruyi was still stubborn.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. My child, my child is gone."
The emperor was angry, and Yan Wan dragged her weak body and came to the emperor crying.
"Ling Fei, tell us how you lost your child. Don't wrongly accuse Ying Fei."
Ruyi couldn't see that Yanwan was weak, and she thought that Yanwan was a bad person, and her anger was directed at Yanwan.
With Ruyi speaking up, Concubine Ying also became bolder and went forward to pull Yanwan.
"Ling Fei. Ling Fei. Tell me yourself how your child died. It has nothing to do with me."
The emperor looked at Ruyi who was watching coldly, and Concubine Ying who was like a mad woman.
The more I look at them, the more similar these two people seem to me.
The same madness.
The emperor snatched Yan Wan from Concubine Ying.
"That's enough. Lady Ying, I think you are crazy too."
"Go back to your palace. Since you are the one who killed Concubine Ling's child, when your child is born, give it to Concubine Ling to raise."
As he said this, he looked at Ruyi again.
"You are a noble now, but you are not qualified to raise a child."
